NO JOKE: Beats Solo Pro Super Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Once upon a time, Beats were known for their silly amounts of bass. And they got popular. But as Sony and Bose join the too-much-bass club, did Beats jump out? Let's unbox and find out in this review.
See the Beats on Amazon: amzn.to/37PgkLo
Bose 700s: amzn.to/2FHJLD6
Some IEMs I like better for quiet: • Shozy x Neo CP Super R...
FYI: I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

These are great to. Listen to the radio with.
You all probably dont give a damn but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I love any help you can give me
@Devon Yusuf instablaster ;)
@Carmelo Lennon i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
did he literally say "YOLO PRO" instead of "SOLO PRO"
👀
Lmaoo
yeh idk why he isn’t being serious. Ik this is his channel & review but I’m not looking for a haha slap my knee fucking joke my guy. I’m about to spend $320 for these mf headphones i want a pro/con list
@@dustysavage1187 jeez wouldn’t wanna crack a joke near you💀
And “automagically”
The headphones need to be broken in. For most people this will take quite some time. I just purchased these and fo the first 5 or so days they were almost unbearable. I stuck it out because when I tried on the pair in the Apple store they were extremely soft and comfortable. This makes sense considering the hundreds of heads that they experience in the Apple store. After a week now and some very long up to 8 hour coding sessions wearing them they are almost 100% comfortable. My suggestion would be to stick it out for some time and I believe that you will have a very comfortable set of headphones.
Jesse L. I felt the same thing when I’ve tried it in the shop. Thx for clearing that up cuz I’ve been trying to find the similar experience as mine but didn’t until now.
I just got mine like 2 days ago and they’re pretty comfortable for me
@Ardi S I've been thinking about getting the studio 3s, do you like them?
Thanks a lot for the review. I just now got my brand new Beats solo pro delivered and these guys sound dope.
What do you think about the comfort?
@@lunyx6960 It isn't honestly as bad as people say it is. I had struggled a bit in the first 10 days or so, but later it was fine. May be I got used to it.
Thanks for the info
@@kanchansenlaskar4139 had the sound quality gone down or gotten quieter.
@@matt8052 no.. That hasn't happened in my case.. Make sure you get the firmware upgraded
About not being able to fold flat... the more moving parts something has, the higher chance it’s gonna break.
Beats Pro better for the gym, the on ear beats will let’s your ears breathe better and have more airflow to not get warm vs over the ear Sony and Bose.
And you'll look better in the mirror.
@Ardi S a little tight at first but honestly my ears adjusted fairly quickly
@Ardiana Sinani yes … I got headache so bad
I’ve found that when using headphones, I generally will let them clamp just behind my ear. I always hated having headphones around my neck, but the downside is.. I drop a lot of headphones when I forget they are clamped there, and start doing silly things.
You don't wear them right, I play basketball with them for hours and my ears are not hurting, you place the top of the ear inside the cup so you don't feel pressure and bum perfect headphones... I'ma buy a second pair for color swapping
Tbh I was giving up on watching review videos on this product until I watched this. I honestly love how you review a product by a persons point of view and sound. I wish this color was implemented on the mark3s but oh well... new sub👌🏽
I agree, I respect this guy a lot
Just got these and after 2 hours of listening to them I give them a 👍🏼
What can you compare them to?
Are they comfortable? I’m worried about this.
So I live in somewhere that is very windy to exteremly windy almost always. Active Noise Cancelling from any overhead headphone I've tried just can't handle wind at high speeds. Bose 700 and XM3 included. Both returned because of it. IEMs with a good isolation are my only saviour.
Oh interesting! So both the Bose & Sonys have issues with wind, too? How would you describe it?
@@SuperReview if I was to try and get you to recreate the sound. It would be blowing lightly across the top of a piece of paper but not with the deeper wobble sound the paper makes. Just constantly that.
Does it happen with noise cancelling turned off?
@@SuperReview Nope. There's the whistle you'd naturally expect from wind passing over any surface but the ANC just seems to amplify it in a weird way. Seems like Sony have since added a firmware update with a "wind noise reduction" mode but that wasn't available when I had them. Might have to give them a try again...
Hopefully the Beats can fix that with firmware, though I did a search and don't see other people complaining about it -- so may never be addressed.
Was thinking about picking these up based on looks alone, thanks for letting me know my heads too big haha
I love the Sony xmyz100mk3,14+ :)
In all seriousness I do have them and actually enjoy them quite a lot.
They work great with my Oneplus 7 Pro since the smartphone have a great equalization function that that does work without destroying the sound.
I just tone down the bass (quite lot to be honest) and thats it. No need for the app really or losing the LDAC connection.
whyllian1234 Sony has to really work on their product naming. I’m a Sony and Apple person by the way.
Ezugo Obuekwe Every man or woman has their own poison.
My brother got them while I got the beats pro. I knew how good his headphones were but I still got the beats cuz I like on ear . And cuz it’s sorta advertised for iPhone users🤷🏾♂️ other than that Sony’s sound better. Just ain’t my cup a tea tho
Personally, the thing that bother me about these head phones are, I find them heavy and tight, the clicking sound from the button on the right ear cup is loud and harsh, quite unpleasant. I work as an at home customer service rep, to avoid neck pain from holding phone between my head and shoulder, I got them thinking they would be great to use at work. But I believe because there is no cord, using them for phone calls make you voice sound far away and distorted to the person your speaking with, so no good, and again they're tight and heavy making them uncomfortable to wear for long period of time. They are really beautiful, I love the color, I got the light blue, and the sound is great for music and tv shows I watch on my phone and laptop. I just wish I did not have the other issues using them. I would not buy these if I could go back in time.
How do I know what size head I have? 😂
Use measuring tape
Gambit Gambino and what length constitutes a medium head?
pay attention to ur decision you make,that will tell you how big of a head you have lol
On the note of getting the standard headphone jack to apple iphone charging connector its valued at about 25 dollars for about a 3 inch conversion cable, its ridiculously priced and horribly clunky being as it now forces you to either listen through a wire or charge and get forced to listen wireless.
Pretty much every headphones are ridiculously priced becuase it doesn't take much to make headphones
This video deserves more likes.. it was really helpful thanks
Glad to hear, thank you.
just got some $60 !! They'll be delivered to me tomorrow... Been watching some reviews (of which this is thee best by far, by FAR) and I'm liking what I'm hearing. Sounds like the actual sonic quality is pretty good on these. Everyone is saying there's a comfort issue, but to me the fact that they're so much more durable and that they're more intuitive in terms of function is a big selling point to me. Confounding somewhat considering that Apple chose to discontinue them... Ah well.
Discontinued is how you get 'em cheap :D
How did you get them for $60? I see at WALMART they’re $99
You got scammed brah
@@captainthruster9484 I didn’t, but okay… lol
why light blue is cheaper than the black variant ?
Supply / demand.
The colour of your shirt and headphones are *NEAT!* 👌
My man 💙 always giving us his true opinion...audio legend.
I love your review!! Well I love everything but the size of the cups. Maybe i’m not good with on-ear headphone
On-ear is pretty divisive. I don't mind it generally, but the clamp on this is strong.
Did they fix that airflow ANC static sound with updates since this?
Not the last time I used them, but it's been a while.
@@SuperReview Hm ok. It wasn't my first choice but it's going for such steep sales these days.
@@tipoomaster ikr, found yesterday at my local Walmart for 150
Are the Studios 3 better? I find them *much* more comfortable than my Solo 3s.
I have only spent about 2 minutes with the Studios 3, and was on someone else's phone with their music -- so not a great comparison. FWIW, I didn't like the Studios 3 in that environment.
Is the noise canceling as good as the Studio 3s?
Can you make a call using the Beats Pro? I noticed they do not came with a mic cable as the Solo3 and I am actually looking to get ones to use it in videoconferences. Thanks
I'm pretty sure there's a mic built in, will work over Bluetooth.
my issue with this solo pro is the grip is far too tight to wear it longer than 20 minutes i even got headache from wearing it for too long and when you unfold the headphones automatically turns on hence i cannot store it in hanging fashion.
I think they fixed the issue with the wind noise while walking around with ANC or Transparency Mode. My Beats are just working fine in 2021. Great review.
Thanks for the report 👍
So you can’t plug them in a regular headphones jack like the solo 3?
You can, but you have to buy the $35 specialty cable separately.
I wish all the "things" ( stickers,case and so on) that come with the earphones would be color matched to the earphones. But maybe I'm asking for to much???
if i put this headphones on a headset stand without fold them up, it will turn off or not?
It will NOT turn off.
Great review as always
Thanks Nick ✌️
Great review, as always! As much I want to love these, I generally stay away from on-ears because i wear eyeglasses. I don't even last 5 minutes from the pressure on my ears getting painful and uncomfortable 😥
What about something like Porta Pros? They light enough to not cause issues, or still painful?
@@SuperReview haven't tried them yet. I have limited time using on ear headphones compared to over ears. But they do look kinda comfy and light, maybe something good for the office 🙏
Anybody know what kind of watch he’s wearing at the beginning of the video?
He's wearing a Pebble 2.
how do you wear them around your neck without them being on the whole time?
Don't think you can with these :(
u are gonna be fine bro unless you let them hang around youre neck all day long you will have enough battery life to let them chill and listen to music
Have you tried the Sennheiser PXC 550 II’s? I wonder how it compares to the Sony XM3’s and Bose 700’s...
I have not.
Audio quality better than 700 or xm3? Lol remind me not to come here for audio gear opinions again. I know sound quality is very subjective, but no way that these sounded even close to the Bose 700 and Sony XM3 in bestbuy stand. Not in sound quality or ANC or comfort or embedded tech and EQ app like Sony
I have a few audio nerd friends here in SF, some of them have $1,000+ headphones and earphones, and they've all agreed these sound better than XM3 and Bose 700. Not that it's a high bar, mind you.
I agree the Solo pros just sound basic, and not immersive. I like to feel my music. Plus the build quality sucks. I am team XM4’s and Bose 700. : ). I realize now that everyone has different opinions makes me wonder if this video is sponsored. LOL
What's better to get an $100-200 Sennheiser, AKG, Audio Technica over the year headphones, or get this? Beats solo pro now it's $250
If you don't need Bluetooth and ANC, and just want good sounding audio, there are others I'd recommend over these Beats.
Thanks for the review!!
Have you reviewed the Audio Technica ATH-m50x? I'd love to hear your opinion on them!
I haven't reviewed them, but I have tried them -- didn't like them much.
A little confused by the argument against he easy pairing and battery status that gives you after they’re paired. I think beyond the first pairing it’s nice to see that headphones consistently repair without having to go into settings to select them even. Most bluetooth devices even if they are previously paired you have to go into settings to select them to be used again.
I'm glad it automatically re-pairs itself (I can't think of any Bluetooth headphone I have that doesn't do that). What I don't need is the little animation that appears on my screen every time.
Are you making your comments against the Bose and Sony without their EQs on? Not many share your opinion and I don’t see how you can prefer these. Why don’t you review the nura headphones?
Yes, my descriptions of the Bose & Sony assume no EQ. 1. I don't use EQ often, 2. If I EQ them to my preferences and they sound nothing like they do to someone watching my video, I dunno how useful that is. I don't think Bose support EQ in their app yet, so if you want to address tonality you'll need to use a separate app. Sony app has pretty nice EQ options but it disappointingly reduces the Bluetooth connection to the lowest quality. The Beats require no such fiddling, they just sound good in every app, on any device you connect them to.
I'll add, too, that a 10-band EQ can address only so much.
Got the Sony. Best to use the app for EQ...The folding on the Solo Pro's to turn it on or off kills be. Got the Solo 3's as an Xmas gift. Don't sound as great but best beaters I ever owned. I can keep my Sony for traveling.
Can i make it wired with lightning to 3.5 mm adaptor?
Yeah, Apple sells one.
can you review Fiio EH3NC? these are Fiio's 1st wireless headphones, I would like to know how they perform with Fiio Q1 Mark 2. thanks in advance.
I probably won't, but thanks for the recommendation.
Can i choose whether transparency mode or noise cancellation? Like airpods pro
Yep, same controls as APP.
Thx 🙏
I agree, I don't what's the deal with the sonys, I return them and want with beats,they have a more exciting sound...music comes alive....
I got these on black friday for $100
Would you give them 5 stars for that price range
No probably not.
Kool Color & SOUND QUALITY😮🤔👀👍😏!
Got a pair awosome headphone comfortable I recomend these.
Please tell me your current headphone and iem you are using.
I have over 80 IEMs, so I use a lot.
I don’t weather to get these or the Sony XM3? Help.
Comfort and ANC: Sony
Music quality: Beats
What do you think about the Sennheiser momentum 3? If u ever tried them
I haven't tried them, no -- but I've heard good things.
Nice vid you gave me a lot of info
Parrot Zik variants might be something to consider... they can be eq'd via the app, which helps a ton. Interesting too, I've always found the solo versions of the beats to be the best tuned out ofthe beats variants.
Great review! Bought a pair! Off topic question, what watch face is that for the pebble when your unboxing?
Watch face is called "Crystal Fit," I actually made it with a friend.
Hey man, I don't know if you've tried Marshall´s headphones, but if not, it'd be great if your tried the brand new Marshall Monitor II ANC, since they compete in this level of headphones, thank you :)
What is your opinion in the absolute best overhead noise cancelling headphones at the moment?
Honestly, I don't love any I've heard.
Super* Review have u heard pxc 550? i really like it
Are they better than the studio 3s
thank you very detailed review and not changing subject at all... its a yes from me
There are a few considerations with the H1 chip you didn't mention.
You can have two output devices simultaneously connected to a single pair bluetooth headphones with the latest version of BT. With H1, all devices associated with an AppleID can connect and output to your headphones. My Sennheiser Momentum headphones will constantly chime when I get a phone notification even though I'm connected to the laptop. Devices will sometimes "fight" for the connection to the Sennheisers. That doesn't happen with the Apple system, as their layer on top of BT has rules for handoff. Overall, it's minor, but it is nice to not have to always actively manage bluetooth connections.
The pairing card you get can be helpful too. By turning on headphones near a device, you can connect the headphones to the device without having to go into the device settings and manually connecting it. Again, like above, this is minor. When you have multiple audio devices and multiple headphones, powering the headphones on near the device and getting the card is just a nice little shortcut that allows you to further avoid having to actively manage headphone connections.
Would you say the bass is the same or close to the bass of the beats mixr.
I haven't heard the Mixr.
Super* Review sad face. Ok thanks
So how can we charge it? Can we use android charger?
The connector is a Lightning plug.
Nice. Review.. If your had to go on a long journey would you rather listen to the beats or tin hifi t4?
As complimentary as I am about the sound of the Beats here, the T4s kill 'em.
You should do a review on t4s vs beats! As I don't see why anyone would be a pair of beats for that price when the t4s are less than half the price
@Hamah 75 I agree that.sounfwise they are totally different.. I own the t4"s and I have. A pair of skull candy crusher headphones..and even tho I do appreciate big bass (who doesn't) I just don't understand why someone would pay so much for beats when you can get higher quality audiophile quality for cheaper
@Hamah 75 I may take you up on that recommendation! I have been hearing good things about the blon 3
Are these the best headphones for the price I got them for, I got them for $120. I think it’s a bargain
$120 for these? Dang, nubbad.
Would LOVE to hear your review of the Jabra 85H.
Anyone know if theyre sweat proof?
Thanks man😜
What watch are you wearing? It looks amazing!
It's a Pebble 2 ✌️
have you tried KZ ZS3?
I have not.
thanks for the review.
I suggest a review of the tribit quietplus. tribit would send you one if you contact them im sure.
I think they are quite nice anc headphones.
Is it just me or do these headphones look cheap?
👀
They're Beats... they all look cheap
They look like headphones my 6 year old nephew would wear. That colour is awful, like a babygrow. I hate beats, they put weights in their headphones and I will never pay extra money for headphones because a celebrity name is on the box.
@@Ivory113 I'll take your word for it because I haven't heard it. But I'm betting due to it having only SBC and AAC, if you compared it with competitors in the same price range this beats wouldn't sound so good... and you gotta pay for a cable to use it wired! 😡 That's the robber coming back for more. There's 2 brands on my $**list, Beats and Bluedio.
@Jon995 I agree about the Beats comment but I’m not sure about the Bluedio one since those are targeted at people who don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on headphones, so if you take that into mind, they’re actually quite nice.
What's a good true wireless earbuds?
Best? IMO AirPods 2. Also good but much cheaper? Haylou GT-2.
Crusher ANC vs Beats studio 3 please help me out before my birthday February 11
I haven't tried the Crushers with ANC, just the regular Crushers. For sound quality, IMO no contest, Beats win. The Skullcandies might be more comfortable though.
do they work on samsung s9 plus?
I didn't try it, but I'd be shocked if they didn't. They do work on my Samsung S10e.
Of course it's blu tooth but they're the worse of the ANC headphones the only thing I like about them is how they look
G R yep, but in android u gotta pair it manually it’s not like ios where is automatically pops on your screen
You don't wear them right, I play basketball with them and listen rap for hours, and my ears are not hurting, you place the top of the ear inside the cup so you don't feel pressure and bum perfect headphones... I'ma buy a second pair for color swapping
(And i wear glasses btw y'all just don't know how to rock 'em)
I'd love it if you took a look at the beyer dynamic lagoon
they suck apparently
I have the beats solo pros and have never had that issue with walking. 18:00
2020: automagically
🎩
That’s what you feel using those headphones
I’d say this was the realest review of these out of any. Refreshing!
at 18:36 i believe you mean Bose 700 not beat 700. Realy, why are you talking about Bose 700 and not Bose qc 35ii?
'Cause it's newer and I own it. Why not?
i just believe that Bose QC 35ii is the best mobel of Bose and Beats solo pro is the best of Beats, it would be fair to compare the top models of each company.
But is your review and as you have said, you own the Bose 700 and not 35ii, this is not a review of the top models,i got it.thank you
kgsaxo
Why would be the QC35II the top model, instead of the NC700?
It looks alot their wired version called Beats ep 🎧, you can get the cable from Walmart for like 7 bucks
This one or the Powerbeats pro?
Very different products. I haven't heard Powerbeats, so can't compare on sound.
I guess the people hating the color is too old too understand the vibrant colors..They are from the black and white days..
I love the color, but even I'll admit it's pretty loud -- can feel a bit self-conscious when wearing them in public around dull adults.
Ur watch looks so cool what brand is it?
Pebble
I've just listened to the Sony xm3s and I gotta tell u they sound like total garbage. It looks nice feels nice and probably has great drivers the noise cancellation is great and all. But the sound is straight up not even comparable to my koss ksc75x
KSC75 is not a fair comparison to anything, to be fair. They are god tier.
@@SuperReview I'll take that as a joke XD
Not really, KSC75 is one of my favorite-sounding headphones.
Dude ksc75 are really godtier.
I use my Sony for ANC on top of my kse1200.
“If you don’t look at this thing and love it, then I’m afraid we are not the same person.” 😂😂 Sorry bud, I like how they look aside from the silly beats logo, but yea, unfortunately I’m me, and you are also not me.
i discover that, the beats pro are not replacing solo³. they keep selling both, like airpods pro and airpods 2
Interesting. I think those still use Micro USB 🤪
@@SuperReview yes i bought them yesterday and they have micro usb.... they chance alsopackage and is tge same of the pro's. the are so good
He said yolo instead of solo
I bought mine and i unfolded them for the first time.....the white light came up and after that no light came up ever since
Charge them?
Wow thank you for this review I'll be passing on them I'm not in to hearing the wind/static when I walk
I kinda hope Apple -- I mean Beats -- can fix with a firmware update or something 🤷♀️
Its beats of course they sound awful.people who buy beats just do it to be seen cause apple gives them to celebrities so the sheep or like ah they must be good
@@SuperZombiepimp beats already have fanbase even before Apple buy them. Stop giving Apple crap for something they didn't even do.
Are these still worth getting?
I would say the same thing about them today.
@@SuperReview Alrightt thanks!
definitely, they’re also a lot cheaper now!! u could probably get them for $120 now
@@rivur._ Thankss! I already bought them, the cheapest I could find was €180 tho. But I love these headphones :D
Please review Bowers & Wilkins PX 5 or 7. Want to hear your experience
I've heard one of the PXs, forget which, and it sounded worse to me than both Sony & Bose, FWIW.
I am in the rather large head demographic. Maybe just a notch below a Tito Ortiz size head and I wear eyeglasses where clamp pressure is a factor for sure. Shame too, the color and design is quite spiffy.
Just to correct you, there was never no marriage.
How about an audio snobs opinion on a sub $100 set of ANC headphones?
I haven't used a ton, but the Mpow H5 surprised me.
Your the first one to put the QC35 before the sony xm3
IMO neither is great.
Getting this from my dad for my bday bec were on a budget rn so im just checking out some vids abt this headset
Cathy Korn $300 is considered budget for you?
Jack Lamb lmfao
nice review-
constructive criticism here but your review is too long in my opinion, condensing it through editing or cutting the script would make it excellent-
good job here though
Tell that to zeos
I love Sony’s feel on the head but can’t justify spending that much on them and same with the bose 700 they feel nice too expensive in my book so that leaves the beats solo pro’s and they are by far my favorite go too even with anything to do with their other in ear like studio buds or fit pro’s. I have the studio and the solo pro’s just missing that fit pro’s which is the studio buds upgraded. But enough about me beats crazy
Please do a review about Sennheiser PXC 550 II.
That or Momentum 3?
Mine won’t connect
